The Green Bay Packers managed to mend their relationship with superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers to keep him with the franchise for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, however, they didn’t manage to do the same with their superstar wide receiver.

According to multiple reports, the Packers have agreed to trade their All-pro wideout Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders. In exchange for Adams, the Raiders will give up their 2022 first-round pick (No. 22) and this year’s second-rounder (No. 53).

Adams, who was franchise-tagged by the Packers earlier this offseason, will also get a new deal as part of the move. He’s signing a five-year, $142.5 million contract that makes him the best-paid wideout in the league. Not only that, but the 29-year-old player is now the highest-paid non-QB player in terms of average annual value and total value in the history of the league.

Reportedly, the Packers were willing to give Adams the same deal that he received from the Raiders and even top it if required. However, the player wanted a change of scenery and preferred to move on. In addition, some believe he was still disgruntled with the fact that Green Bay didn’t give him an extension last season.

The move gives the Raiders an undisputed No. 1 receiver and playmaker that can make a difference on the offensive end. On the other hand, the Packers will have to rebuild their wideout corps that now only has last year’s second-round pick Amari Rodgers and veteran Randall Cobb as viable options.

Davante Adams is coming off a career year in 2021 in which he had 123 catches, 1,553 yards, and 11 touchdowns. He earned his second consecutive First-Team All-Pro nod and fifth straight Pro Bowl appearance.

When people talk about the best wide receivers in the game, they often forget to mention the name of Green Bay Packers’ Pro Bowler Davante Adams. However, according to Adams, his name shouldn’t just be in the conversation, but should also be above everyone else’s.

Adams expressed his thoughts on Thursday night after torching San Francisco 49ers with 10 catches for 173 yards and a touchdown in a 34-17 blowout win.

“I think that’s fair to say,” said Adams when asked whether he is the best wideout in NFL. “I think that’s not being conceited. That’s just being confident. I think, obviously, what I’ve done and what I’m going to continue to do is going to prove that to anybody who isn’t on board with that.”

The monster game against the 49ers wasn’t the only one that backed up Adams’ claim about his stature in the game. For the 27-year-old player, this was the third game with at least 10 receptions, 150 yards, and one touchdown.

This makes Adams the only player in NFL history to have three such games in the first eight weeks of the season. Also, only Detroit Lions’ Calving Johnson managed to do this in a single season.

What’s especially impressive about Davante Adams’ feat is that he managed to do this while being on the field for just six games. He missed two weeks due to a hamstring injury but still has 53 receptions for 675 yards and eight TD.

This kind of production is setting Adams on pace to have a career year. His previous best outing was 2018 when he had 111 catches for 1,386 yards and 13 scores.
